8/22/18 Thank you Church World Services, EnoRiverUUFellowship and the Judea Reform and CH UU folks who made this learning and bonding experience happen. I will never forget these first hand stories of oppressed, abandoned, threatened lives experienced in the face of poor immigration protection, bigotry, bureaucratic night mares and poverty. These immigrants and refugees were inspiring in their understanding of large-scale injustice (when we with white privilege in the U.S. are so secure and unaware). I appreciate their insight and willingness to ask U.S. citizens to hold elected officials and systems accountable to humane practices. We have to engage in civic discourse with our neighbors. One young man, Daniel (18) told the story of how his father lives in sanctuary status separately from his family for safety. Young Daniel was the one who requested that a VotingRights table should be included at this event. Guess who registered to vote LASTNIGHT with YouCanVote? Unforgettable.

Please take a minute to tell us a story!

We believe that democracy works best when everyone participates!

We need your help expanding the vote in NC! We train and mobilize volunteers to effectively share information about upcoming elections, help voters to register and understand their rights, and remind voters when and where to cast their ballot.
